We’ve noticed that some relationships have lost their spark over time

CHERISH.

As we grow up, we may find that the people around us who were friends with us no longer talk to us or even keep in touch. The people who are friendly with us may be our brothers, girlfriends, best friends, best friends, lovers, and so on. As we grow up and become more and more immersed in our own lives, we have become less concerned about the people we are always friendly with, as we used to be, and have become concerned only about being alive all the time. What used to be a time of greeting each other has become a time of not having anything to talk about.

We all seem to be too busy living and making the best of our lives.

In the past, I never worried about how bad my relationships with others would get, nor did I ever think it would get to the point of having no connection, but the reality is that I can’t intervene in other people’s lives or limit their steps.

I was 18 years old in that year more than a lot of feelings, in that moment I realized that the original time will really make the relationship fade, but also will bring out — a lot of parting, and even let me understand and other people’s parting is how much I don’t want to part with. At that time, I lamented the relentlessness of time, why should time make the relationship between us become so diluted.

I also asked myself, why do we have to go through such separation and reluctance? In the end, I came up with an answer that I can accept, and I hope you will read the end and use my answer as a suggestion so that you will not miss the past and stop moving forward.

I’d like to know if you’ve ever noticed that some of your friends or other people you’re close to aren’t in touch with each other anymore, or if you’ve ever thought that someone you’re friendly with will never forget you. In the past, you and your friends would fight over small things, have daily arguments, and talk all day. You were happy to meet and share with each other, and you were in each other’s mood when you comforted each other. But you also ignored each other because of some nonsensical small things. In the end, though, you were always there for each other, and you had a seemingly unbreakable connection. But the reality is that we’ll gradually lose contact due to various factors and eventually just disappear. Over time, we met each other, went through life changes, met different people, and changed our mindsets. We also had communication issues, which eventually led to the relationship fading or even estrangement.

We all have the same 24 hours in the day, and our relationships with them change over time. It’s something that happens to everyone. No matter what stage of life we’re in — child, teen, adult, middle-aged, or elderly — we still have to face the fact that time is relentless. Each stage is different, but the truth remains the same. One of the best things you can do for yourself is learnt to accept the relentless nature of time.

It’s not bad to feel nostalgic about relationships or past experiences. But we need to remember that nostalgia shouldn’t get in the way of our growth. Instead, we should use it as a way to grow.

I’ll answer the question about today’s topic

There’s no such thing as an endless feast. The reality is so cruel that we have to put all our heart and soul into the path of life. We no longer have the heart to care about the current situation of other people. We can’t assume that they’ll stick around forever. Everyone has their own goals and lives, and all we can do is wish them the best. Memories of the past are just memories, no matter how the past and the future will be. At least, that’s how it is in our heads. We read over and over again the information in a record book, just like we read over and over again memories of the past. And memories are the same. We think back from time to time to the things that happened to the people who had a good relationship with us in the past, no matter whether it was lucky or bad. It’s a precious memory for us. We might not be able to go back to that kind of relationship again, but at least we’ll always have the memories to remind us of our friendship.

Finally, I want you to cherish the people around you, no matter what kind of relationship they have with you, and no matter whether they’ll be around in the future or not. They’re with you now, so make the most of it. Create more beautiful memories with them so that you can look back on your life and remember all the wonderful people you’ve met along the way.

#Remember, think about life, marvel at life, and move on.
